    That's why i always revers the number and get the address, but i also no specifically if its them calling me as i scheduled the call for a time and a day. *Smile. I usually tell the idiots calling me pretending like they are support, that wow i don't own a windows computer i have Linux based pc, so sorry can't help you.

  3. It happened to me a few years ago
    What I did was picked up the phone and said thanks for calling and I kept them on the phone for about 30Min going threw a long problem that I did not have; then I said go to hell and I slammed the phone down.
    They never called me back that was a few years ago when I had a Spoofed HP Tech Support Case Manager calling me and I knew it was not them because I had already settled my problem with the case manager two weeks before that.

    There goal is to get Credit Card Numbers and other stuff so be careful
    and what I would do since they are impersonating a company like that I would contact MS and let them know so they can take action if needed.
    I did that with HP and they logged it for me
